O Boticário Malbec Magnetic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Marion Costero, Hernan Fígoli, and Leandro Petit. Malbec Magnetic opens with Wine Grape, Citrus, Cypress, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Pebbles, Cedar, and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. O Boticário's Malbec Magnetic carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a total beast, a genuinely unique and magnetic scent that's either a love-at-first-sniff champion or a headache-inducing nightmare. Don't be shy, it demands attention, but go easy on the trigger.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its distinctive fruity-mineral profile, make it less suitable for a typical office environment. However, these same characteristics, especially the 'compliment-puller' status, make it excellent for dates or evenings out where you want to stand out. It's a bit too much for sport, and leans more casual than formal.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Malbec Magnetic opens with a juicy burst of white grape and crisp apple, lifted by a hint of pink pepper and citruses. This fruity freshness quickly gives way to a complex heart of mineral notes and a subtle, 'premium detergent' clean accord, underpinned by an earthy blend of sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar. The drydown reveals a musky warmth, with amber and a whisper of vanilla adding depth to its distinctive, metallic-sweet character.
